Athletics
Both in competition and in the classroom, CSUB scholar-athletes are champions.
CSUB Athletics is built upon our four pillars of Academic Excellence, Outstanding Student-Athlete Experience, Competitive Success, and Community Engagement. We are guided by our vision of our student-athletes pursuing championships and graduating as leaders.
You can support this vision by participating in the Rowdy Challenge! Each team is competing for the highest number of unique donors to their program. All it takes is a $5.00 donation to your favorite team to help them win! Teams that come in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd receive the following additional gifts:
1st - $2,500 from Joel Andreesen and Connie Perez-Andreesen
2nd - $1,000 from Gerrie Kincaid and Clarence Hosey
3rd - $500 from Jim and Nona Darling
The Rowdy Challenge lasts the full 24 hours, so you can make sure to donate and share until 12:00 pm on Wednesday, April 9th. Your donation goes directly to that program and supports those student-athletes.
Donate now to make sure your favorite team takes home 1st place. Go Runners!
